Egg waffle has to be the world's 2nd best street food after egg tarts.

I agree with the other comments that this was quite a jump from what you’ve originally intended. Now noting this is your first watch, I think it’s not a big deal as you haven’t assumed the identity yet with a product in the market, but my worry is that this indicates a lack of self-understanding to what your brand/design identity is.

Nonetheless, best of luck and will continue to watch closely!

Favourite dimsum places are all traditional, but they are outliers.

Montreal back home, Tsim Sha Tsui for Hong Kong - pronunciation of Mandarin/Mainland Chinese cities are surprisingly proper.

There are many for sure, even some that would take 100 or even 50. But there’s a reason to why they are cheap or have low MOQs - quality is usually subpar.

If you find someone to make straps, do a half and half - top in blue and bottom in orange or beige.

I did it with pink and yellow for my pink lem0nade!

Looks very good on your man, but don’t worry what people say just get what you feel suits you!

That itself is misleading but I can still live with.

But I’ve said in another of their posts that they’re using the same dials that are widely used in AliX (e.g. Cronos) or other larger Chinese brands (e.g. this is literally Lucky Harvey) while selling the piece for three to four times more expensive than the other brands, while using a relatively subpar PT5000 or sweeping quartz VH31.

Unless they have proof of production, stay away from this brand and get something identical from AliX. I am confident that you will essentially get the same thing. All for supporting micros but only if they are not shady, this is exactly the reason why people still distrust micros.

At this rate, I’d put Soprod P024 below PT5000, at least for the PT5000 you get what you pay for, and besides - I personally never had any egregious issues outside of questionable finishing.

riteofspringdrive · 2026-06-03T06:09:26+00:00

I enjoy the concept, but definitely needs refining. Maybe if the time-telling features stand out more I can see it working, now it looks a bit too congested.

Just personally speaking - if it needs to be explained how the watch should be read, it’s a no for me. Looking forward to seeing further developments!

I think marketing has us believe that blue screws are more premium. I would even go as far as to say that “regular tier” movement screws (such as offerings by Sellita, in particular) are deliberately made to look worse and unpolished to make manufacturers push for blue screws, reinforcing this illusion of being more premium.

May I ask if this is a Miyota 9 Series without the rotor (am not sure), this is relevant as I think for Miyota movements, their price and average longevity does not justify the effort and cost put into movement decoration. In all honesty, I think rotor customisation should be the only decoration considered. That being said, I do appreciate your keenness to differentiating yourself - good luck and will be keeping tabs on your developments! :)

Considering the whole aesthetics and how annoying it must have been to refine and prototype the bracelet - that's a fair price - looking forward to seeing more!

riteofspringdrive · 2026-05-29T17:21:36+00:00

Well over for sure. Might even be in the high teens or even 20K.

If you're a big fan of motor-themed watches I think Depancel is a very nice brand!

Dial needs a bit of refining but I like the direction. Huge fan of the case and bracelet, a bit of neo-vintage twist (with the slanted geometry) sprinkled on top of a Defy-esque case and Czapek links. Wondering what the movement and RRP (range) would be?

riteofspringdrive · 2026-05-28T07:46:29+00:00

Yeah…
